1. Collect a variety of science items and place them on individual trays. 2. Place the trays on the table so that the children can use the items in a specific area. Putting the trays on one table allows the teacher better supervision and direction with the use of the materials. 3. Suggestions for the tray include: * Sink and float items with a small plastic container of water. * Magnets and items that are magnetic and nonmagnetic. * Color paddles and watercolor paints. * Small plastic cups with red, blue, and yellow water and eyedroppers for color mixing and exploration. * A bucket balance and items to be weighed with another item that serves as a weight measure (such as teddy bear counters). * Items for visual exploration, such as binoculars, kaleidoscope, and so on.
